Abstract
The influence of hepatolenticular degeneration, a hereditary disease, and the skeletal mass, has been studied in the present work by determining various parameters of the skeletal mass. As such, the results of the morphometric observation on the second left metacarpal have been considered. The results have shown: a significant decrease of the skeletal mass (osteoporosis), an increased inner diameter (d) which reveals an equally increased osteal absorption (osteolysis) and no connection of the sex, type and duration of the disease with the skeletal mass. C'est en se basant sur différents paramètres, que l'auteur détermine la diminution significative de la masse squelettique (ostéoporose), l'augmentation du diamètre interne des os qui permettent de reconnaître une résorbtion osseuse accrue (ostéolyse). Il démontre l'absence de corrélation entre les variations de masses squelettiques et le sexe du malade, le type et la durée de l'affection. Es werden die Skelettveränderungen bei hepatolenticulärer Degeneration beschrieben. Bericht über Untersuchungen von 10 Patienten. Die Untersuchungen wurden am Os metacarpale durchgeführt.Keywords
